Using logarithm, the following equation will apply:
Y = P * [1 + z]^x
Where Y = 2000
P = 100
z = 5% = 0.05
x is the quantity we are calculating for
The equation becomes
2000 = 100 * [1+ 0.05]^x
Dividing both side by 100, we have 
20 = 10 * [ 1 + 0.05]^x
Taking the log of both sides, we have
Log 20 = Log [1 + 0.05]^x
log 20 = x * log 1.05
x = log 20/ log 1.05 = 61.40
Thus, it will takes 61.40 minutes for the number of cells in the petri dish to reach 2000.

Factoring expressions: 17x-34xy
Katarina [22]

17x(1-2y)

17x-34xy

because both expressions have a x, it would be easier to factor out the x first. but because 17 is a factor of 34 you can simply divide 34 by 17 and get 2. so you put it together to this,

17x(1-2y)

Because, 17x times 1 is 17x but 17x times -2y would be -32xy.

The length of one side of a square is (x + 2 1/4). If the perimeter is 14 units, what is the area?
Stels [109]

The perimeter is the total of adding all of the side lengths together.

A square has 4 equal side lengths.

So the perimeter of a square is:

P = s + s + s + s  or  P = 4s

[P = perimeter       s = side lengths of the square]


Since you know the side length of the square is (x + 2 1/4), you can replace s with (x + 2 1/4)

P = 4s

P = 4(x + 2 1/4)  Multiply 4 into (x + 2 1/4)

P = 4x + 8 4/4

P = 4x + 9

Since you know the perimeter, you can plug it in.(you could have also plugged it in in the beginning)

P = 4x + 9

14 = 4x + 9  Subtract 9 on both sides

5 = 4x  Divide 4 on both sides

5/4 = x


Now that you know x, find the side length of the square.

(x + 2 1/4)

(5/4 + 2 1/4)

2 6/4 = 3 2/4 = 3 1/2 units or 3.5 units


To find the area of a square, you multiply 2 of the sides together:

A = s · s  

A = 3.5 · 3.5

A = 12.25 units²
